    Great video. Nice clear explanation of how the molding process works, and using the dye to show how the mold filled up was clever. Interesting to see one of these old desks being refurbished.
    I'm glad that there is now a restoration cottage industry for this gear. I worked at the BBC TV Studios in London through the 70s, and Neve was the standard for the larger studios. They were already in radio, particularly for stereo. Later they started buying from Calrec and others who basically made clones of the Neve desks with cheaper parts! The faders were the most expensive thing in the Neve's.
    And the correct pronunciation is "Neev" not "Neevee"! Glad you caught that later in the video.

    Not a huge fan of vaseline as a silicone release, I don't like how much it alters the surface texture. My favorite is 50/50 mix of 99%IPA and dish soap. Thin, solvent flashes off fast, and easy to clean off the part.

    An idea which has hit me before when it comes to casting on this channel and other shows, and again watching this:
    Some technique/tools which minimizes or eliminates working in bubbles into a two-part resin mix looks like it would be useful.
    Thinking out loud here and YMMV as to the viscosity of the resin, but one idea is having the mixing container resting at a 45 degree angle on some contraption which rotates it as you mix, the other is a long magnetic stirbar and stirrer (almost as long as the inside diameter of the bottom of the mixing container.
    Thanks for another cool video, BTW :)

    • @EricStrebel
      @EricStrebel  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Teukka72 Thicker resins usually trap more air in the mixing process, no doubt about that, but they are not always harder to degassing, depends on the raw materials used.

    Awesome video. I'm in the middle of a casting nightmare and this has been super enlightening. Filling from a runner leading to the bottom is the key I was missing!!
    If you can reply with affiliate links for the following I'll be very happy to use them...
    -The silicone that ended up working for you
    -The clear part polyurethane product
    -The final buffing compound and the buffing brush that you used. Do you use a different brush for each grade of buffing compound?
    -The pressure/vac gauge you use on your pressure pot
    -The heater pad and timer setup for your pressure pot. Where did you run the wires through? I have the Harbor Freight PP and seriously doubt it has much of a factor of safety built in. Maybe sealing wires into a T on the port inlet would work.
    Why don't you use a commercial mold release vs the vaseline/naphtha? Cheaper and it works just as well? What ratio of vaseline/naphtha do you use? Is there just one concentration or grade of naphtha or are there different types to choose from.
    Thanks a million. This video could not have come at a better time. I've watched hours of Punished Props, SmoothOn, BJB and others but this was the most enlightening.

I need help promoting my current Kickstarter project the "Alfred" Backpack hanger kck.st/2Yi2Qnd any promoting on Social media would be greatly appreciated. You scratch my back I will scratch yours. I will answer your questions the best I can.
      -Silicone was from Silicone INC. out of South Carolina, check your region for your distributor.
      -Resin was from Simple Resin, they sponsored the VID and the link is in the description of the vid. Any good clear UV stable eating resin should work. simpleresin.com
      -I bought that buffing wheel at my local production tool supply probably, that have industrial equipment, you probably have a place like that locally. Only used one buffing wheel, start with the corse and work your way up to fine.
      -The pressure gauge I got on ebay and I purchased it because it had a temperature gauge on if so that I could monitor the temp in the tank. Was used and probably came from some sort of a boiler.
      -The hearting element in the pressure tank is a vintage coffee pot hot plate, it has a rotary dial. It all runs on a digital push switch that allows me to select 1,2,4 and 8 hours of heat. Also got that on ebay.
      -Wire, runs through the exhaust port brought a "T" :-) I will be building a new tank in the near future, look for that video soon.
      -Release agent needed to be applied very carefully in this instance. It's just what I use, it's and old school thing. I think the ratio is 60/40 naphtha/petroleum jelly, you can mix to whatever you want to your application. I think there is only one kind of Naphtha...not sure though.
      If you have more questions reach out via email. If you can promote the TH-cam channel as well that would be great. But right now I need help with traffic to the Kickstarter campaign!

    Huge fan of the stuff you do, I have learned a lot from you. Quick question though... so does the meter cover get a slight tilt in the mold to help the air vent at the top when you gravity feed or will the pressure tank take care of that?

      you could tip the part in the mold making process, additional you can tip the mold during the resin casting, but in this case as you can see from the time lapse it was not needed, the vent in the top did their job as intended.

    Sometimes I get parts that have seen better days and require quite a bit of filler and hi-build primer before the molding process. I typically lacquer these parts as a final step as I had problems with cure inhibition using platinum silicones when using things like duratec surfacing primer (Although that is a great product). What is your preferred products/methods for finishing masters that cannot just be polished out? In the demonstration in this video the master required only polishing which is great, I wish my parts did not require major steps to prep for molding but, I would love to see how you handle a detailed part that requires a bit of fixing before molding. Great Videos! Thanks

      I like to use a two part urethane clear coat for such things, dries hard and can be sanded and polished to a mirror like finish. Not cheap, but works very very well.

      @@EricStrebel here's a trick for working with plastic that the surface is chalky and crumbling. Put on a pair of nitrile gloves. Rip a chunk off an old cotton T-Shirt. Get some thin cyanoacrylate glue. Definitely not any thick or gel type. Drip some glue onto the surface then quickly rub the glue in with the cloth. Don't let the cloth stick to the item. Repeat, using a clean spot of the cloth each time, until the entire item is covered. Let sit until the glue dries then repeat the glue application.
      Now you can sand, primer etc with less worry about the item breaking while working with it. One item I used this on was an Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint dome lamp lens. (Also used on all the large Iso cars and a few Ferarri models.) The original was *extremely fragile* even after using super glue to consolidate it. It took a lot of priming and sanding and spot putty before it was ready for the lacquer coats. Ultimately the original didn't survive but the person who sent it to me didn't care. He was happy to get new lenses that will likely outlast the rest of the car.
